Hey what's up guys for those that don't know my name is Elyar Black, I still to this day just see myself as a regular 22 year old who just loves to sing, I am probably most famous for firstly being the little brother of one of music most hated men Adam Black, he really isn't as bad as everyone makes out. I am also probably known for my own music career more notably my biggest hit to date which was of course is sex babe. When I am not making music or performing I am literally just trying to be a regular 22 year old lad to be honest, hanging out with my mates just being dudes is just the best, I have a few bad traits that im not proud of like the fact that I have a really sort fuse when it comes to my temper, this is where I casually blame my brother, I have learned over the years to control my short fuse but I can't promise if someone pisses me of im not gonna snap at them, I make up for it though with my flirty nature but I am gonna try avoid flirting if possible because I am off the market after all, I love this show and I think I'd be a fun, good housemate that can bring a lot to the house, just don't ask me to cook, for my worst type of person I'd have to say people that think they are better than everyone else just because they have a better career or more money people like that piss me off. My ideal housemate would be someone that doesn't take themselves to seriously and is just up for having a laugh and some banter, I feel like im gonna miss the people I love the most while im in there though it gonna be tough not seeing my girlfriend for a few weeks, being in that house is gonna be damn tough if we fail task and get no food that will kill me because many of my close friends will know I could eat for the world, if I were to sum myself up in three word I would say fun, naughty and flirtatious.

The name is Allen, Liam Allen I am 22 years of age and am from Jacksonville Florida I'm a singer, actor and model and no there are no naked photoshoots so save yourself the trouble of looking for them I use to be in this boy band called The Zone things didn't work out and we split for many reasons that I won't say on here however I will say I am on a new label now (whistles) I don't really do much just your average singer,songwriter, model, actor sex god but when I'm not doing that I also like to swim, I've been getting into photography recently so there's that but enough about that I'm pretty active so I'd say that's a good thing maybe I'll fly by these challenges haha "maybe" who am I kidding I'll definitely fly by them but who knows I'll probably get voted out because people will see me as cocky or conceited or whatever generic answer they'll give and that's cool but you know sarcasm is sarcasm watch them take it differently though it doesn't really matter though to be honest because I mainly applied to get some promo for my new album and if anybody says differently they're most likely lying no offense to them but how often do you see someone join these shows then release their album or new single the day after? I'd also like to win though that'd be cool and who knows maybe this experience will gain me some friend I won't turn that down because it'd be a d**k move anyway let's move on I'm not going to be generic and say expect the unexpected BUT maybe I'll surprise some people I'm not as arrogant as I'm coming off here I promise well I half promise however if I run into a d**k or someone who acts too snobby expect the same treatment not looking forward to those types but IF you're cool and sane we should be cool man I'm just realizing how much it's gonna suck without a phone but whatever I lived without one years ago I'm sure I'll be fine just hope these people aren't annoying though if I could describe myself in three words hmm attractive, charming and constantly sarcastic by the way if you took the two before sarcastic seriously then I feel bad for you (laughs)

Hey, yeah, yo, what's happenin' bruv? This is Jack Graze, but you can call me Scratch. I come from the glorious area of Brixton in the "wonderful" capitalist shithole that is London, you get me? Truth be told, I in't got a clue what I'm even doin' here innit? So close to Brixton and yet so far from reality. So close to home and still so far from my comfort zone that I can't even feel like I'm myself, but hey, maybe it's time I push myself and get out of what I've been stuck in for so many years, right? Shit, anyway, I'm off on a tangent. Ain't nothing out of the ordinary there. So yeah, I'm Jack, but call me Scratch, and I'm 24 years old. I like to think of myself as a professional musician. A rapper. A ska artist. A jazz musician. A folk singer. A reggae man, you get me? I got so many irons in the fire there's barely room to even light the ting, is it? I've been rapping ever since I was a little kid. Where I grew up, it was always a case of either gettin' into gang bangin', baggin' yourself a knife or a gun and doin' some kid in to prove yourself, or else goin' the other way, buildin' on that history of Brixton as a urban music hub and doin' your best to be the next success story. I chose to rap rather than battle. And hey, believe me bruv, that ain't an easy thing to do when you are born and raised in what is the gun capital of England, you feel me? You gotta have the balls and the pride to want to lift yourself above it. I got so many friends that took that wrong path, and it's out of respect to many of them that I vowed never to do the same. I guess, if you were an absolute bell of a cliché, you could go and say that rap saved my life, feel? Yeah.

But still, man, I might not be out there stealin' and firin' on peeps, but that don't mean I ain't got a little bit of a notorious streak about me (he laughs). It's hard to respect the police when you were brought up in an area that is so hard done to by authorities, you know? Brixton, and my estate, gets so much flak, and we get so much negative attention, innit? So everyone looks for that way to rebel and be themselves in a way that sticks the middle finger up to the people in office and says 'fuck you, bruv'. For me, that came in the form of music, which it's always been about for me. I've been notorious in the last four or five years for settin' up live shows around London. Illegal live shows. What we do is we get a empty place, warehouse, shop, house whatever, and we case it for a while. Then we build a little makeshift stage, invite people to come in secret and put on these sick as fuck unofficial underground punk and rap shows. The cops have been tryin' to shut them down for so long, breakin' them up and shit, but we're always one step ahead. We been doin' this for so damn long that we know what we're doin'. It's like second nature. So yeah, I break the law. It started as a way into music for people who thought no one would want to hear them, and it became a way to express ourselves, through our music, and with that rebellion that angry young punks need to put out there at times. Yo house got that bad boy comin' up in there, you get me? Hahaha. I'm glad I got that edge, though, if I'm bein' honest, because I fully expect to be the least famous person in there. I mean, up until now I only put out two singles so far, innit? I think they both made a little decent impact, but I don't think a lot of people will be sayin' Scratch is their favourite singer, you get me? I had a nice little run with my song Wear Me Down wiv Rich. Man, some of the people who was talkin' about that....it was sick as fuck. I never expected to get anything like that from people, you know? I always thought no one would care, so for even a few people to give me a bit of buzz and even just a little bit of attention...that was well nice. I ain't never gonna forget that first buzz I got when that happened.

I think one of the things I'd like to change in the Big Brother house would be the public perception of me. Or at least my perception of the public perception of me, if you get me? Like, I imagine after the interviews I've done before and the songs I've released, thematically, people will have me pinned as this angry, anti capitalist anti authority punk activist who just has so much that he's pissed off about. The sort of guy who thinks the world is out to get him and will keep on swinging until he goes down, innit? I mean, I am a guy who has those leanings, my music is totally genuine in its message, but I wouldn't like people to think that's all I am. I'm a guy who likes fun, to party and to get my nose a little dirty from time to time (laughs). When I'm not doing music, I can generally be found partying, really. I like hitting the clubs at the weekends and really letting go. Sometimes I think I might have stopped this by the time I got to this age, but apparently that's not the case at all. I'm not really the quiet type of guy at all. I have a strong sense of self and I'm not one to let things pass me by without speaking my mind. But I also get on with people. I'm a kid with a tough background and a rough upbringing, but that doesn't need to define me. I'm a good guy, and I like meeting new people and making friends. I can strike up a conversation with anyone and about anything. Aside from all that...I love Chelsea Football Club. Football is basically life, son, you get me? If I hadn't have made it as a rapper, I woulda loved it if I could have been a footballer. I mean I was never Premier League level, but you know I think I was pretty good. As it stands though, I just love music. I kinda made it my life and I wouldn't really want to have it any other way, you know?

What made me want to apply for Big Brother was really just the fact that I wanted to have a chance to get some. I mean....last few years, just about everyone who's went into that house has ended up rolling into bed with someone at some point, innit? Nah...nah, I'm honestly just joking, innit? But are you gonna have anyone hot in there? (he laughs) For me, this represents a chance to just get a bit more out there. People are likely to say that I'm selling out and wanting to be famous and rich or whatever by getting my mug on TV, but it's not even that. It's about two things really. One is just the chance to get my message out there. My singles have done well, but there are still so many people who wouldn't be able to tell me from Adam you know? If people haven't a clue who I am, then it's highly unlikely to buy my music and learn about me. And at the end of the day, I just want to be able to spread my message of anarchy and anti-authority, anti-capitalism and that, you get me? This is the best platform for doin' that in my opinion. The other reason is that I really want to meet other people in the industry. Over the last few months, I've been getting gigs and doing the festival scene a lot. But when you turn up backstage at the festivals and that, it's like everyone knows each other and they just have a big party, which is awesome. But for someone like me, who didn't know anyone there, it was a bit subdued at first. I did my best to get involved, but it always takes time to warm up new people to you when they all know each other. If I can make a few industry friends, that would be pretty nice. I'm generally a very sociable guy, and I love having the chance to meet people....as long as they ain't the money grabbing fat cats, innit? In terms of what you can expect to see from me in the house....I wanted to try to liken myself to someone who's been there before, but I was struggling a bit. My mate's call me the partygoers dream though....what does that mean? It means that I'm the sort of guy to go all out at the party. I just love being involved and having fun with everyone, so you'll always see me having fun. But I'm also that guy who's up before everyone else the morning after frying up a big hangover cure of a breakfast, you get me? My mates love that. Generally I'll be a chatty guy who just wants to go in there and make friends. I'm not sure how I'll react to authority....so that could be fun for you lot to witness, and I'm also never afraid to speak my mind. So if someone pisses me off or gets on my bad side, you're gonna know about it. No matter how much I try to hold it in.

I don't expect that many people will piss me off though. I'm pretty tolerant. I think the only sort of person I'm likely to be pissed off at is the sort of money grabbing "look at me, make me famous", sorts. That would be the worst type of housemate for me. Someone who's entitled and thinks that they have some right to be rich just because they can almost hold a note and they have big tits. Oh actually, I also hate people who will shout over the top of someone else because they don't know how to get their pointn across in any sort of civilised way. I might end up shouting someone like that down. I hate that. I'd prefer to live with someone who can just kick back and have a laugh, not trying too hard to be something they're not. If I can live in there with someone who likes to have fun and make the nights worth something, but also is happy to spend the days just chilling and chatting shit about nothing at all, then that will be great. Generally I just like it when people are nice and when they can just be themselves. A couple of Londoners who know what it's like to be who I am, and someone who has the same opinions about the world as I do....that would probably be quite nice as well (he laughs). I guess the thing I'll miss most about the outside world is my mates, though. Coming from a small tight knit shithole in a big city like I do, you have a very close community feel with your mates and I'll definitely miss that. I'm sure I'll cope like, but it'll be a bit of an adjustment. Aside from that...emmm can I say that? Yeah fine, I'll also miss weed if I'm honest. I'm one of those people who claims they write better when they've had a toke or two and I do smoke weed pretty often, so that'll be something that I need to get used to. Well, you know, unless someone brings some in in their arsehole. Do you carry out cavity searches? I swear I won't bring any in...just don't shove your finger up my arse, innit? With regards to being locked up for 24 hours a day, I should be good. I'm a bit of a seasoned veteran on that one. At one of those underground shows I was talking about that I put on in London, I ended up getting myself arrested when the police broke it up. I was just giving them lip when they was breaking it up and being dicks about it so they slapped the cuffs on me. It was a Thursday night on a holiday weekend as well, so I wasn't able to go to court until the Tuesday morning. Spent a full...four days inside, innit? Hardened jail veteran here (he laughs). I'm that bad boy you dream about (laughs) But no that was a bit of that feeling of removal of freedom for a few days and I actually did find it quite relaxing to be away from the world in that time. And that was in a setting way more horrible than the one I'm about to go in, so I'm sure I'll be fine. But nah, as long as the company is good and the place is fun, I'll happily live anywhere. It should be a riot. I'm going all in for the experience and so looking forward to it!

So....I guess this will be about time for me to get locked inside. Hopefully none of you is booing me as I walk up the stairs, innit? If I can finish with three words to describe myself....I think they would be; "party, meaningful, relaxed." Let's do this.

Hey, what's going on? I'm Mercedes Payne, just professionally known as Mercedes. Singular. Like Madonna, Cher...although definitely far from as famous. Don't think I'd be sitting here if I was, really! I'm 22 years old and I am a singer-songwriter, actress and model residing between LA and London at the moment. I would say that I'm from all around, really. Growing up, I did a lot of travelling and there's a great mixture of racial diversity within my family. I've always celebrated many different cultures and walks of life. I don't really like to wedge myself into one bracket. I was brought up, regardless of who was caring for me, to believe what I want to believe and do what I want to do. I got a real taste of the world from a very young age and was always taught to explore. Nobody ever said to me "this is what you are", "this is what we believe and you will too because you have no choice in the matter". My mother's father was from Barbados and we spent a lot of time over there when I was younger. It's still one of my favourite places to go. It's beautiful. My father is Polish and again, we'd travel to see his family and see the culture that he was raised in. Both extremely different but I loved both of them. Many people ask me if I'm black or white. Sometimes I just tell them what I think they want to hear because it gets me into certain places. Sssshhhh. But yeah, I am mixed raced. Don't let the blonde hair fool you. It's not natural...oh my God, do we get hair dye in there!?

While I dabble in different stuff, I am mainly known for my music career. I'm currently independent now and it is hard going. I've only released two singles but both have performed extremely well in the charts and the reviews have been more than I could have ever asked for. I'm always being told by people to hurry up and release something new but when the music is ready, I'll give it to you when and how I want. There was a big buzz surrounding me when I first got signed. I was signed to the newly relaunched Hot Eye Records, owned by Stephanie Fierce. Back then, that's when she and Tisha Jackson had a massive feud going on and people seemed to joke that I was like the "Diet Coke" version of both of them. Sometimes it was a jibe and other times it was a positive comment. Somebody once said I have the talent of them combined with the negative attributes extracted...which was lovely! I think that sort of damaged me from the get-go though. Half the people were expecting me to sound like Tisha and Stephanie while their big fan bases were all like "she better NOT come out on that stage thinking she's my queen!" A lot of finger snapping went on back then. As well as music though I do a lot of modelling and experimented with acting. I've worked with some amazing photographers and I feel at ease during shoots. Growing up, I was always trying to wedge my way into ANY photograph opportunity. I also starred in 50 Shades of Grey. Not a major role but it was definitely an experience I'll treasure.

Away from it all, I just love to travel. I'll just walk and walk with my camera and see where my feet take me. I have no idea how I'll cope in the house because you can't leave. I absolutely love exploring. No matter the weather. London especially is a great place to go see all the architecture and just sit in a café and people watch. I love that.

I decided to apply for Celebrity Big Brother because I was always a fan of the show and the last series was just amazing. I fell in love with nearly all of them! I don't have any singles or an album to promote right now and the show looks like the right balance of enjoyable and challenging so why not!? If I do well then that's amazing. Another thing to put down in my CV! If not then I can go home and watch everyone else suffer from the comfort of my own bed! I'm hoping to last a while in there though. Would love to come out of the house with a whole new bunch of friends and want to be able to say that I survived it! Going in the first couple of weeks must really hurt.

I would say that I'm a highly motivated person. I love to work as part of a team. We're all here for the experience so why not just grab it by the balls and have a bloody good go at it? I do love to talk and interact with people. I can't sit still and I absolutely hate awkward silences so there has to be something going on. Last thing you want to watch on your TV is a bunch of dummies. Uh, for a brief part of my childhood, when things soured and became financially unstable at home, I was sent into the care system. That is where I met Billy and Deneil Khan. During my time there I really got on well with most of the boys and people still call me a "tomboy". Don't get me wrong, I still love my fashion and most of the other girly stuff but yeah, I do see myself as one of the boys. Some of the boys in the home used to be scared of me because I'd make mince meat out of them during sports activities. Oh my! A lot of girls look at me, see just how many close male friends I have and call me a slut. Believe me, I've had that comment many times. I just know how to make friends. I don't like it when people are insecure and feel like they need to question everyone's motives. I like chilling with the lads and I'll say this now, I can definitely whip their arses during a game of FIFA. Hands down. I think that being rather energetic and determined may piss some people off in there. I can't deal with lazy people, especially ones who think others should do the work because they believe they should get special treatment. No. We're all the same in the house. I'll make sure everyone pulls their weight.

In the house I'd love a bunch of upbeat, friendly and smiley people. People who absolutely love to party and have a laugh. I need to be with people who don't take themselves too seriously. Forget the cameras, just let go and be yourself. Oh and there's got to be some eye candy in there too. Christopher Hudson in the pool last year? Yes please! I know that the house isn't going to be that cheery though. You sneaky producers always hunt for someone irritating or controversial. I don't mind them as long as they keep their distance. I can't deal with people who constantly attention seek. People are allowed to be opinionated and argue. We are only human. Just don't give everyone a migraine with the sound of your voice.

I'm really going to miss my freedom. I love just making the rules up as I go and deciding what I want to do with my day. In the house, there's nowhere else to go and it's Big Brother that makes up all the rules and regulations. Not having power is one thing that frightens me. I know I'll be safe in the house but it's going to take a lot of getting used to. I think I may potential go insane after a while so you've been warned. Yes, I'll give it a fair shot but I've never done anything like this so I have no idea how I'll cope. Hopefully I'll be a good girl but I MAY end up climbing the walls and have a mental breakdown. Just a possibility.

I can't wait to get started and I'm so grateful for this opportunity. To sum myself up and give you the bare bones of what you'll get in the house.....uh....I'm positive, talkative and...a tad kooky.

Hi, Name is, What my name is, uh, my is, wicky wicky Chris Walker.
I’m of legal age of 21 ladies. *Wink*
Logan, Utah. Don’t give that information away easy but you can see why my dad wanted to leave now right?
Blogger
Famous for hosting a blog show, won Fan Choice for favorite blogger last year. Recently retired from SYNCO.
Away from the show I mostly keep to myself, somewhat shy. Goes through moments of depression but hey don’t we all not every day can be fill with rainbows and gumdrops.
I’m a kind hearted funny guy that just wants to have fun and enjoy life. At worst I might not get some, what don’t give me that look everyone on this show gets laid beside Tyron because well, he is scary but everyone else
I saw it on tv and lobby to get on it cause it looked fun plus It will give me a chance to do more with my show.
What I wants from the game is to promote himself, the blog and most importantly to have fun with it.
A wild crazy mess, kind of like my show only more crazy since no one is going to be there to keep me in check, It’s like that movie hall pass where I get a break and do whatever
Hoping Tyron doesn’t walk in and kill everyone, he saw last year and how everyone saying that guy is crazy.
Who I would like to see in the house, is anyone that is a party person I want this to be spring break of all spring break wild
out
What I’m going to miss most of all is not being able to do his blog but that what the help is for. That is not a racist. And your racist for thinking it is.
It will suck being in a boring house but if it is a party then I won’t mind I might even enjoy it unless I’m the only one being lonely.
Umm, Blogger, Comedian, Person like what kind of question is that?
